closer I think
1) I changed tp_name to be 'observation.MV' ( module is named observation.c
) and now I get a new error..
PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'observation.MV'>: import of module
observation failed
2) here is the init function, sorry I did not include it in the original
listing
void initobservation(void) {
PyObject *m;
m = Py_InitModule("observation", observation_methods);
Py_INCREF(&PyMV_Type);
PyModule_AddObject(m, "MV", (PyObject *)&PyMV_Type);
}
thx,
S
